powerpc/fadump: Fix the race in crash_fadump(). 

There are chances that multiple CPUs can call crash_fadump() simultaneously
and would start duplicating same info to vmcoreinfo ELF note section. This
causes makedumpfile to fail during kdump capture. One example is,
triggering dumprestart from HMC which sends system reset to all the CPUs at
once.
